They said it couldn't be done. They said blue states would never bend the knee. They said sanctuary cities were untouchable fortresses against federal immigration enforcement.
They were wrong.
Border Czar Tom Homan just walked into Minnesota – Tim Walz's backyard – and emerged with something Democrats never wanted to give: full cooperation with ICE.
This wasn't a photo-op handshake or some vague promise to "have conversations." This was a real operational agreement that fundamentally changes how immigration enforcement works in America. Governor Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and local law enforcement leaders all sat down with Homan and agreed to let county jails notify ICE of release dates for criminal aliens.
Read that again, Patriots. The same Democrats who spent years virtue-signaling about "protecting" illegal immigrants just agreed to hand criminals over to federal agents.
The Math Democrats Don't Want You to Know
Here's where it gets even better. Homan revealed that nearly 3,000 ICE agents are currently operating in Minnesota. But because of this cooperation agreement, he announced a drawdown plan. Not because ICE is retreating – but because cooperation makes enforcement dramatically more efficient.
The numbers are devastating to the left's narrative: One agent can arrest a criminal alien in a jail. Without cooperation? It takes 15 agents on the street, covering doors and providing security for what becomes a dangerous operation.
Democrats just lost their favorite talking point about "militarized" ICE operations in communities. When local officials cooperate, enforcement is quiet, orderly, and safe. When they resist? They create the very chaos they claim to oppose.
Homan Gets Emotional – And Drops the Hammer
The Border Czar didn't just deliver a policy victory. He delivered a gut-punch reminder of what's really at stake.
Homan spoke about burying Border Patrol and ICE officers throughout his career. Handing folded flags to grieving wives and children. He revealed that President Trump told him directly: no one should die. Not officers, not community members, not even the targets of operations.
"Under Trump, the border is more secure than any point in American history. Fewer women raped by cartels. Fewer children dying in the desert. Less fentanyl killing Americans."
That's not spin. That's reality – the reality the mainstream media refuses to report.
The Template for Every Sanctuary City
Make no mistake about what happened in Minnesota. This is the playbook. This is how the Trump administration will systematically dismantle the sanctuary city scam that Democrats have used for years to harbor criminal aliens and undermine federal law.
Homan made the priorities clear: criminal aliens and public safety threats come first. But he didn't back down on the broader mission either. If you're in this country illegally, you're never off the table. Prioritization doesn't mean amnesty.
The message to the world is now crystal clear: illegal entry has consequences. Period.
Senator Lindsey Graham warned that sanctuary city lawlessness is ending. Tom Homan just proved it in spectacular fashion.
What Comes Next?
Every blue state governor, every sanctuary city mayor, every resistance-minded attorney general is watching what happened in Minnesota. They're doing the math. They're calculating the political costs of continued defiance versus the humiliation of cooperation.
And they're realizing what we've known all along: when the federal government is serious about enforcement, when there's real leadership in the White House, their little sanctuary schemes collapse like a house of cards.
The question now isn't whether other blue states will fold. It's how quickly.
America First isn't just a slogan anymore, folks. It's policy. And it's working.
